A Pitter-Patter of Little Claws

For those hunters who have been fortunate enough to experience a quality upland bird hunt, they know how addictive the sport can be. The thrill of watching a well-trained pointer flushing a pheasant or covey of quail out of cover is a rush that keeps scores of sportsmen coming back for more.

My First Bow Buck with Taylor Drury

When I was very little, Dad had started me off shooting with a plastic bow-and-arrow set. When he finally thought I was strong enough to pull a very-small compound bow, he got me my first bow. When I got older and could pull a compound bow and shoot an arrow fast enough to penetrate a deer, my dad took me hunting. I never will forget that first deer I took with a bow.

Taylor Drury: Growing Up Outdoors

No, Taylor Drury, the daughter of Mark Drury of Drury Outdoors, wasn’t wrapped in Mossy Oak when she came home from the hospital. But according to Taylor, “There is a picture of me hanging at home of me in Mossy Oak when I was 6-months old. So, I feel like I was born in Mossy Oak.” Now 18-years old and a freshman in college, this week Taylor Drury will talk about growing-up as a hunter.

When Is the Best Time to Hunt Predators?

Here is what makes predator hunting so important to land managers: every coyote you take probably saves the life of two fawns, four or five turkeys, a covey of quail and many-other game animals you want to raise.

Love Thy Neighbor

Hunting season is a great time to run into neighbors, doing the same as you, enjoying the great outdoors. As long as you’re on good terms with your neighbor, it makes for an opportunity to tell them about your goals for your property and convince them into also improving their property, if they aren’t also already following sound Gamekeeper principals. Like-minded people can accomplish much more than one property owner trying to battle those around

Tech Mesh Apparel In the Field

You can have the best gun, bow, ammo or equipment for your hunt but if you cannot stay comfortable when hunting, you will not be in the woods long. This is true when it is hot and when it’s cold. Over the past decade moisture wicking types of clothing have really taken off, not only in the sports world but in the hunting industry as well. Tech Mesh is a product that has really taken

How to Find Coyotes

The best way to find coyotes is to actually see them on the property you hunt. Another way to locate coyotes is with trail cameras. The next-best way to find coyotes, bobcats, coons and possums is to pinpoint tracks and scat.

How Much Land Do You Need for Taking Predators

Coyotes aren’t on small parcels of land every day and every night. Try to determine where the coyotes are, and what night they’re on the property, so you can hunt them the next day and have a reasonable chance of taking them.

Set Up Right to Take More Predators

When you start calling predators, especially in the East, you’ll see numbers of coons, gray foxes and red foxes. These predators feed on turkey eggs, quail eggs and ground-nesting game animals. If you remove a good number of these animals every year as well as coyotes, you can increase the numbers of turkeys, quail, song birds and upland birds on your property. Every now and then, you’ll get a bobcat.

The Best of Both Worlds

As the bucks are transitioning into their favorite time of the year, I would bet that you are wondering if the choices you have made for their primary food sources were correct. You are not alone when having doubts as every GameKeeper sometimes second-guesses their yearly game plan. Hopefully we can help define what we feel is a very important part of that plan and help make a great choice for that perfect fall attractant

Predator Control for Game Management

By harvesting coyotes, foxes, bobcats, raccoons and possums, you can have more deer, turkeys, quail, pheasants, squirrels and rabbits. We all know the advantage of planting supplemental food plots, fruit trees, nut trees and shrubs for wildlife. We also selectively harvest our deer herds and provide minerals for deer and turkey. But one important component of managing your lands for more wildlife is reducing the number of predators on the properties.

Two of ProStaffer Bucky Hauser’s Strangest Deer Hunts

I was in my stand, being quiet and sitting still when a power-company truck came in and started cutting and clearing the right-of-way on the property. They could see me in my tree stand less than 100-yards away from their chain saws and bush hoggers. They really thought it was funny that I was trying to hunt while they were cutting the right-of-way. When they finally finished and were leaving, they honked their horn, waved
